National director of public prosecutions, Mxolisi Nxasana, was supposed to appear in front of a commission of enquiry as whether he can do his job properly… but Zuma had other plans.

According to the Mail&Guardian, the would-be head of the commission, Nazeem Cassim, last night got word that Zuma had personally called off the investigation into his buddy.

Now, to clarify, the head of the NPA is one of our country’s most powerful and influential people. While no one knows why el presidente wanted the inquiry scrapped, it is known that Nxasana will be quitting his job. Thing is, we don’t stop investigating people just because they’re no longer sitting pretty in the jobs where they broke the law in the first place.

Weirdest thing though, is that Zumja initially called for the investigation. Now he’s over it… and some things that should not be forgotten might now slip out of sight.
